Abstract

The adsorption and enrichment of greenhouse gases on biomass porous carbon is a promising approach. Herein, a simple type of nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped biomass porous carbon (NPPC), which was derived from fast-growing eucalyptus bark, was reported via one-step method of carbonization and activation, and the nitrous oxide (N2O) adsorption performance and the adsorption mechanism of the NPPCs were also investigated. The results showed that NPPC-800-2 demonstrated a high specific surface area (1038.48 m2∙g−1), abundant micropores (0.31 cm3∙g−1), and enriched content of N and P (4.17 wt.% and 0.62 wt.%), which also exhibited a high N2O adsorption capacity of 0.839 mmol∙g−1. Moreover, the addition of N enhanced the surface polarity of carbon, thereby altering its pore structure. And P doping induced changes in the structural orientation of carbon, resulting in an increased presence of N-P functional groups. This finding reveals that the eucalyptus bark-based N and P co-doped porous carbon shows great potential for wide applications in N2O capture and provides effective guidance for the design and development of waste biomass adsorbent.
